The demand for IP services, IP competence, and strategic support in the field of MedTech and digital health systems is steadily increasing. Connected healthcare companies are no longer developing isolated medical devices. They are building integrated ...

Industrial IoT and Smart Manufacturing are no longer only about connecting machines, sensors and production systems. They are changing how industrial value is created, monitored, optimized and protected. The IP question is therefore no longer limited ...

Many IP experts are highly visible within the professional IP community. They publish, speak at conferences, join panels, explain legal developments, and share insights on technical or strategic questions. Yet visibility inside the IP bubble does not ...

A growing number of signals from the GreenTech market point to a structural mismatch. Companies are no longer developing isolated environmental technologies. They are building industrial transition systems: batteries linked to mobility, storage and re ...

Advanced materials are becoming a strategic layer of MedTech innovation. In high-performance medical devices and implant-related applications, value is often not created by the visible product alone. It may sit deeper in the material itself, in its co ...

MedTech has always been an IP-intensive field. But the MedTech market in 2026 no longer looks like the familiar world of mechanical devices, careful patent drafting and regulatory approval as a separate compliance track. Medical technology now sits at ...

GreenTech is no longer a separate innovation category for environmentally motivated technologies. It is becoming part of the infrastructure of industrial competition. Batteries, energy storage, clean mobility, hydrogen, recycling, digital energy syste ...

MedTech is no longer easy to describe as a field of physical devices alone. A medical device may still have sensors, implants, catheters, imaging components, robotics, diagnostic modules or monitoring hardware. But the value increasingly sits in the i ...

The CTO Spring Forum 2026, held on 20 and 21 May in Munich, made one thing very clear: technology is no longer a topic that can be managed only within research, development or product departments. It has become a central leadership issue. This year’s ...
